Etymology
1201 Streuna is named for the Latin word Strennus, which means "strong" and "careful".[1] The planet was named this in honor of Professor Gustav Stracke, without his knowledge of what the term meant, as he was considered to hold the traits that the word described.[1]
Discovery
1201 Streuna was discovered by German astronomer Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth on 14 September 1931, from an observatory in Heidelberg.[2]
Physical characteristics
1201 Streuna has a diameter of 35 km,[3] and an apparent magnitude of 11.46.[4] 1201 Streuna's spectral type was taken during Phase II of the Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey in 2004.[5]
Orbital characteristics
1201 Streuna has a semimajor axis of 2.6986863 AU, an orbital period of 4.34 years, an eccentricity of 0.04, and an inclination of 7.00654°.[6] On July 26, 2010, it occulted a 9.6 magnitude star in the constellation Serpens.[3]
